For Windows 8.1 users Skydrive is the location where all the files are stored. With the help of smart files Skydrive can be reached from anywhere on your device.

Keeping in mind the extraordinary amount of digital data that an average person generates each month, it is natural for Skydrive to go for a larger storage space. In this manner Microsoft has announced a new storage option for Windows 8.1 users where they can add 200 GB of extra storage to their Skydrive account for a $100 a year. In case you’re wondering that exactly how much is 200 GB, it is just enough to store each photo taken per hour from the moment you graduate from your college to the day you retire from your job.
